mircea_popescu: much like kids or bureaucrats aren't
to be allowed
to decide how
to measure
their performance.
mircea_popescu: 3 yos point "dat!!!" but 5yo is expected
to be able
to say "the item resting atop
the history of fucking in
the roman empire please, what is it?"
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what your parents did
to you people, but
this is unseemly. first fucking
task of
the urchin in an intellectual household is
to learn how
to put his shit in words.
mircea_popescu: you can see logs all you fucking want,
they're all WORDS.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you want
to publish something you can't say in words you're part of
the problem.
mircea_popescu: fuck
that stupid ass google auto-search as you
type idiocty
mircea_popescu: and ftr, auto-repl is for
the dogs. i want proper repl : string evaluated when I say, either by clicking
the preview button or
typing enter or w/e.
mircea_popescu: and i absolutely do not have alf's mental issue where i can't
think of math in words.
mircea_popescu: i want
to have alphabetic notation. such as : graph-this-so-and-so,1,1,4,this.csv
mircea_popescu: i don't want any guy at all. even now i <em> by hand rather
than clicking
the fucking buttons
jurov: mircea_popescu: ever used proggy
that was redrawing everything after every keystroke?
mircea_popescu: (author
types shit in) -> (blog processes it into form) -> (server serves form)
mircea_popescu: the idea being
that
the server does not serve
the result of
the process directly.
mircea_popescu: also,
the idea isn't
to "realtime" ;
the idea is
to
take user input and spit out html i
think
jurov: imo
TeX is quite bad example for
this, it's not designed for realtime rendering, depends on several passes for layout

tex/svg wwwthing.

they're not computers) has a repl built in as some sort of bash. in most cases you also have both perl and python out of
the box. how could it possibly be faster
to first upload a chunk of data
to some webserver somewhere ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1505364 << okay; but deciding not
to use $tool because it's used by $enemy bloody well sounds like one
to me. sure, you can call
this a set of (very) useful heuristics. but if
this sophistry is accepted,
then any ideology is a set of heuristics (usually but not always very bad ones, but
the latter is a separate point). ftr
though, i'm not saying
that sometimes
there aren't goo
mircea_popescu: not
to mention
that you almost always also have, or can easily get a db, and after an import you can
then sql repl.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger i dun get it, do you have
to first upload your data ?
Framedragger: hing like
the devil avoids
the cross; e.g.
the recent chinese wifi shit discussion; *any mobile ever, in existence*; etc. :)

there is no $ideology per se ;
tmsr is principally characterized by lack of ideology. everyone else has one, however, and
they're often patently insane and amazingly complex.

mircea_popescu: mats 40%
tax on 10.5 dollars an hour 8 hours a day for a year's workdays
ben_vulpes waves

the forever-tarnished robert viragh
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 01:16 mats: and whined
to me about having his good naem
tarnished on hacka nyooz
ben_vulpes: i recall
this, had my own near identical experience lol
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 00:16 pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: cpanel is useful for lazy idjits like me
to ban ips, make back-ups, check
traffic figs, and so on and so forth. it might not be lynx-friendly but i'm also unpersuaded
that it's 'evil
that must burn
tonight'.
mats: what are
these? 0.4 * 10.5 * 8 * 320
mircea_popescu: the majority of
the us population is not currently employed ; nor has any prospects of ever being employed.
mircea_popescu: you'll get a shocking 40%ish which happens
to also be correct.
mircea_popescu: to obtain correct unemployment figure in
these circumstances, do (count of all
tax returns paying more
than 0.4 * 10.5 * 8 * 320 in
tax) / (us population as per census).
mircea_popescu: nowadays "unemployed" = "number of people who jump
through X Y and Z hoops more recently
than 2 weeks ago and for not a longer
total interval
than 11 weeks , and also who aren't in any of
these 58 excluded categories. such as "white"."
mircea_popescu: i suppose look into how
the data is defined and collected one day when run out of other online entertainment.
mats: beyond
the confusion of unemployed and folks who've given up - can you elaborate?
mircea_popescu: but as it is, entirely meaningless
to put
those on same map,
they're not in any sense
the same
thing
mircea_popescu: mats if
that figure wasn't coming straight out of an ass,
the
table might be more interesting.

there instead of massacring cinemagoers
